Maybe this time around you'll set the trend
Today's the day you make your mark I'm sure
But if you don't, if you don't, then try the next door - Lucky You, Lost Prophets
The ride back to the palace was a long and bumpy one, for the fraction of a second Kuzco thought that maybe the road could be easier if he was a llama. Of course that after seeing how the llamas were treated Kuzco shook his head, and cleared his throat rather loudly.
"Hey!" Kuzco yelled, but the man that was in charge of the llamas couldn't hear him because of the earplugs so Kuzco took a nearby apple and threw it at him. The man turned around and looked at the Emperor removing his earplugs. "Yes sire?"
"Don't use your whip on the llamas! They can pull the carriage along just fine without someone whipping them!" The Emperor said as the rather short driver glanced over his equally short shoulder and raised a bushy eyebrow.
"Sire, we have to make this animals go faster since we need to get to the palace by nightfall."
"How could you feel if I whipped you for not getting my breakfast fast enough?"
"It could be an honor, sire. Thanks for throwing an apple at me."
Kuzco blinked sometimes it was a bit frightening how the peasants and servants could think that everything he did to them was a blessing. Of course that the more Kuzco thought about it the more he came to realize that if he were in their shoes he could also worship such an awesome Emperor.
Setting his hands behind his head Kuzco thought about how llamas were such beautiful creatures. Well of course they were after all he had to be an animal that was good looking not some odd messed up thing. Yes, llamas were very smart creatures and beautiful but not that he had to say this out loud. What would people think if they heard that the Emperor now wanted a llama zoo and wanted the llamas to be worshipped? Oh that was a nice idea...maybe he would make it a law to worship llamas, to make little statues of them and set them all over the place. He grinned as he nodded oh yes that was a good idea. An excellent idea....
SHRIEK!
The llama carriage suddenly turned to a halt that almost made Kuzco fly out of the window in the process. It was a messy situation, Kronk had been running and hadn't noticed that the carriage had stopped only until he collided with it, making Bucky (who was resting on his head) shriek and jump to the top of a llama which made the llama panic and start running faster, knocking out the short man that had been whipping the llamas some minutes ago.
Kuzco didn't know what was happening, and as a panicked Bucky hung to the neck of a llama as they ran, the Emperor was trying hard to not fall out of the door. The thin body of the Emperor was being thrown around the carriage like the ingredients of a shake...but unlike a shake he wasn't blending very well...in fact he was screaming and wondering what the hell had happened.
"Why did you stop the carriage so suddenly!?" One of the guards that had been patrolling the carriage on the east side asked, as he fixed his little sun hat.
"I saw Jeneeka Popez! That's her carriage! Right there!" The short man with the whip said, as he pointed to a carriage nearby. The guard gasped.
"Oh! Really? Here!? Oh Inti!" The guard said as he hopped from one leg to the other. "Do I look good? Do you think she will give me her autograph!?" The guard said looking overly excited as he glanced around. Now, seeing Jeneeka Lopez was a very good excuse to stop a llama carriage and look at her. After all, the girl was not only pretty with a good figure, but she was a famous singer...really if I have to explain who Jeneeka Lopez is you probably should get out more often.
"Is her!" The short man said and pointed to a girl with long black hair and dark eyes, she wore big hoops on her ears and had on a very short skirt and an even shorter top. Her sandals were high heeled (it was a big wonder how she could stand on her heels) and seemed to be bathed in gold and had some ridicule feathers on it but since it was Jeneeka Popez it had become the latest trend.
Kronk waited in line for his autograph when his shoulder angel and shoulder devil appeared.
"The Emperor! He's in danger!"
"So what? He can take care of himself...whoa look at that hot babe! Hey! Look at that hot angel sitting on her shoulders!"
"Seriously! How can you put in danger the life of a human because of..." The angel stopped saying this as he saw that the shoulder devil of Jeeneka Popez was waving at him, and moving her finger in a seriously seductive way. "All right big guy! You can take care of yourself!" With a poof he disappeared.
"...Hang on baby," The devil said as he smoothed out his hair. "I'll show you how to become my little devil!" With that he also disappeared.
"BUCKY!" Kronk said suddenly and started to run after the run away carriage.
Meanwhile, the carriage was rolling at top speed down a hill as Kuzco tried desperately to stand for more than one second so she could move to the llamas and do the very heroic thing like it usually is seen in Disney movies. Yes, usually the hero would show a great amount of strength by moving to the front and controlling the llamas showing that he was no longer the little weak boy he was in the last movie...but if this was a usual Disney movie then they could have been dancing and singing by now.
Since this isn't the usual Disney movie, Kuzco ended up getting rather large bumps on his forehead as Bucky somehow had managed to get inside the carriage through a window and was now clinging desperately to Kuzco, making the Emperor get some scratches on his arms.
Kuzco was lucky when he saw some crazy figure jump out of the dark and step in front of the llamas holding out a hand...the figure was merely ran over the llamas and carriages. Kuzco shook his head; they were people that were dumber than Kronk after all. Soon the figure appeared again only this time it jumped to the llamas and seemed to be able to control it after almost falling off.
Finally coming to a halt the figure stood there for a couple of seconds as it fixed its clothes and hair...suddenly the curtains of the carriage were opened, and a head appeared...
It was the face of a guy that seemed to be just about his age (and even if he wouldn't admit it) the boy looked just like Kuzco or well...almost. The boy had hair that reached his shoulders, but unlike Kuzco's hair it was a lot messier with leaves on it, and covered by a wool hat like the ones that peasants thought looked great on them. His nose was crooked and his eyes were dark.
"What!? This is not the carriage of Jeneeka Popez!" The guy said and glared at Kuzco, as Kuzco merely stared at him. It was kind of funny...he found that the boy was attractive...in a manly way. Of course that his nose and chin were a bit off but the boy still looked handsome in his opinion...in fact if it wasn't because he knew that there was no reason that there could be someone as handsome as him Kuzco could probably think that this boy was the best good looking person in the world.
"There's not even any treasure here...That's what I get for actually believing in the bad stories my mom comes up with about a man that saves some girl in a carriage...ugh I just get a funny looking guy and a squirrel clinking to its head!"
"BUCKY!" The voice of Kronk said as the tall man appeared and the squirrel that had been clinging to Kuzco's head ran to him, as it started talking in squirrel language.
"Wow, really?" Kronk said looking at the squirrel.
"Ok...This is the freakiest thing that has ever happened to me, so I'll just walk away and pretend this never happened..." The guy said and ran off.
"Uhm Excuse me!" Kuzco said, "Can you stop talking to that squirrel and worry about more important things? Like...I don't know me!?" Kuzco said, as Kronk looked over, "Oh certainly your highness...I'll pull the carriage up to the road in just a second...let me just finish checking on Bucky here..."
Kuzco rolled his eyes and whimpered a "Why me?" Under his breath as he leaned back
A couple of minutes later Bucky sat with a bandaged arm on Kuzco's lap as the carriage was being pulled back on the road. When they reached the top of the road Kuzco's servants were still around Jeneeka's carriage. Kuzco snapped his fingers, but no one ran to him. Feeling that it was a rather strange situation he cleared his throat, but still no response came from his servants.
"Hey! You are my servants!" Kuzco said as he walked out of the carriage (Bucky falling off his lap and muttering rude remarks after him). He made his way through the long line of servants. "Who is the person that you are paying more attention to? Huh!?" Kuzco asked waving his hands in an overly dramatic way, as a girl servant looked at him.
"It's like...Jeneeka Popez, sire!"
"Like...I don't care, I'm more important than her..." Kuzco said and then looked at Jeneeka who was signing some autographs as some of his servants were fanning her with big leaves. At the sight of the Emperor Jeneeka smiled and immediately walked to him as Kuzco crossed his arms.
"Sapa! Ah, Sapa!" Jeneeka said, "I'm here to audition for the theme song girl part in the sequel!"
Kuzco stared and scratched his chin. Didn't he already have a theme song guy? Yes he was short and had a big orange afro. "I already have a theme song guy." Kuzco replied.
"According to people he's not hot enough so I'm here for the part." Jeneeka smiled revealing straight white teeth that made everyone sight.
There couldn't be a theme song girl that was hot, and even less one that had all the servants serving her instead of him, besides he liked his theme song guy very much.
"You are to be the new theme song girl! What a blessing!" The servants said and started cheering.
"Enough! We have to get to the palace!" Kuzco said and walked back to the carriage and after a couple of minutes (and half of his servants escorting Jeneeka's carriage now) they were back on their way to the palace.
When they got to the palace screams coming from Jeneeka's carriage came, and the servants that had been carrying Kuzco in a big chair dropped him and went to see what was going on. A very grouchy Kuzco walked to Jeneeka's carriage and in a rather bored voice asked what was happening.
"There's a boy under my carriage!" The singer said, and some guards looked under the carriage, immediately they saw a boy with shoulder length and very messy hair. They reached for him and got him out of the carriage, grabbing his arms.
The boy immediately tried to lounge towards Jeneeka, apparently wanting an autograph and a hug. Kuzco, recognized him... it was the boy that had saved him a while ago and that was more handsome than any other peasants he had seen...all though right now he seemed to be covered in dirt and was looking at Jeneeka as if he had never seen a more beautiful sight in his whole life.
"Jeneeka! I'm Manco! I'm your number one fan! I was the one that send you the figure made out of corn!"
Jeneeka backed away and hid behind a guard as Kuzco shook his head and walked away. "Bah...lock him up or...something...I'm going to bed." With that Kuzco walked inside the palace, not bothering in waiting for the servants to get away from Jeneeka...maybe this singer was a good thing to have around...maybe that way everyone could forget about him having to marry...
